Hi Brotty, You know the transmission is leaking from one of the seals and that when you top up the ATF the problem goes away. You obviously have a leakage otherwise you would not need to keep topping up. Fix the leakage or have it fixed. Regards John

Transmission fluid goes through the radiator to cool. The line could be leaking into the radiator as it goes through. Usually at the near the bottom is where the line goes in and comes out the other side.

CHECK UNDER VECHICLE IF TRANSMISSION FLUID UNDER TRANSMISSION MORE LIKELY PAN GASKET LEAKING FLUID.IF FLUID HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED THE PAN GASKET GET HARD LEAKS FLUID.THATS IF YOU HAVE SLOW LEAK.IF YOU LOSING LOTS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID ITS .LEAKING AT TORQUE CONVERTER SHAFT SEAL.LEAKING AT COOLER LINES.CHECK COOLER LINES FROM RADIATOR TO UNDER CAR WHERE COOLER LINES GOES TO TRANSMISSION. AND CHECK LEAKS AT FRONT DRIVE SHAFT AXLES SEALS

Ok, the top line goes to transmission, as does the bottom line. They are connected at the transmission and the other end is connected at the cooler to create a path for the transmission fluid to flow through without losing fluid. One is connected at the top and one is connected at the bottom. I hope you understand this, since your question makes no sense to me.

Let your car get warm put in neutral and check the fluid.Underneath your car you have a pan where your transmission fluid is you will have too drop it too replace the fluid. Will have too take bolts out too do this.You will have too replace a seal or gasket that goes around top of the pan. It has too be put on right or you will be leaking fluid and will have too do it again. After you are done I would let the car run and put a piece of cardboard under the pan too see if it is leaking

check your transmission fluid.....if possible use a transmission additive to try and solve this....or top up with transmission fluid as required...check for leaks under your car of colored oil..usually red...you could have a leak and losing transmission fluid...if so top up with a sealant fluid for transmissions...this usually works for small leaks...you have to drive about 30kms to get the fluids to circulate...for the seal to work..

If you have never serviced the transmission, it just may be time to have the transmission fluid and filter to be replaced if the transmission fluid is leaking from the transmission pan. If it's leaking from the rear of the transmission where the drive shaft goes in to, then it's the rear seal from the transfer case and the seal needs to be replaced and the transfer case topped off with fluid. If the fluid is leaking from the front of the transmission where the engine connects to the transmission than it's a good chance that it's the torque converter or front pump main seal. The other place that it could be leaking from is the transmission oil lines from the transmission to the cool at the radiator. Please let me know if it's leaks worst when the engine is running or only when your parked for a few hours. Keep me posted, be glad to help.

its fairly easy to be honest.you only need the tool to check transmision temp.it should be checked at a temp of 40 degrees c.so i reckon 10-15 mins from cold on idle(dont drive it ) should be about right.then remove the plug in the sump.this exposes a tube that goes in to the sump that is the right length so that only excess oil will drain out.Bassicaly the tube allows the sump to drain until the correct ammount of oil is in there.if you need to top up there is a short tube with a red cover over the top of it.remove this and top up until oil drains out the sump from the hole where the sump plug goes.go here for a picture that explains all.......http://www.2carpros.com/forum/transmission-fluid-vt159056.html
